NEW DELHI: The surge in the sector indicates the increasing reliance on artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) technologies across industries, according to global recruitment platform Indeed.
“The rapid growth in AI/ML engineer roles highlights the importance of technological innovation in today's job market,” said Sashi Kumar, head of sales at Indeed.
With the services sector growing, AI tops the list. However, it is worth noting that at a sector level, sanitation and construction have seen the biggest increases, with job vacancies increasing by 160% and 121%, respectively.
Electricians are in high demand, with job postings up 258%, pointing to a boom in infrastructure projects and real estate expansions that require skilled tradespeople. Education and medical research are two other areas seeing strong employment growth, pointing to an increased demand for services related to health care and education.
The fastest growing fields are AI/ML engineers (433%), BPO executives (313%), receptionists (309%), travel consultants (284%) and electricians (258%).
“These trends provide valuable insights for both job seekers and employers and demonstrate how both high-tech and service-oriented roles are essential to the evolving employment landscape,” Kumar said.
